Legal counsel for every stage of the commercial real estate lifecycle

From the first term sheet to the final closing, commercial real estate transactions require legal guidance that is both technically precise and strategically sound. At EHC Law, we bring deep industry knowledge and a client-first approach to every matter we handle, helping you navigate complexity, reduce risk, and protect what you've built. 

PRACTICE AREAS

Comprehensive counsel across commercial real estate law

  • Whether you're acquiring raw land for development, an income-producing asset, distressed property, or navigating the sale of a commercial holding, we provide thorough due diligence, contract preparation and negotiation, and transaction management.  We are here to assist from letter of intent through closing. We work to identify risks early and structure deals that protect your investment, whether you are a buyer or a seller. 

  • We guide developers through the legal complexities of bringing a project from concept to construction, including site control, zoning and entitlement matters, development agreements and restrictive covenants. Our team understands the pace of development and works proactively to keep your project on schedule. 

  • We represent borrowers and lenders on a full range of commercial real estate financing transactions, including construction loans, permanent financing, mezzanine debt, and equity structuring. Our team prepares and negotiates loan documentation, coordinates with title and closing counsel, and works to ensure every financing structure is sound and executable.

  • We assist developers and community associations with the formation, documentation, and ongoing governance of homeowners and property owners associations, including forming homeowners and property owners associations, drafting covenants and preparation of bylaws and rules and regulations. We help establish the legal framework that supports thriving communities for the long term. 

  • Commercial lease agreements are among the most consequential documents in real estate. We represent landlords and tenants across office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use properties, drafting, reviewing, and negotiating leases that reflect our clients' business goals and protect their interests throughout the term.

  • We work closely with title companies, lenders, and buyers to ensure a smooth and accurate closing process on commercial transactions. Our team manages documentation, coordinates among parties, and resolves title issues efficiently, keeping deals on track and reducing last-minute friction.

  • Successful real estate ventures are built on sound legal entities. We assist clients with the formation and governance of LLCs, partnerships, and corporations utilized to hold, develop, and operate real estate developments, including drafting operating agreements, advising on partnership structures, and assisting with entity restructuring as your portfolio grows.

  • Mixed-use development requires legal counsel that understands the intersection of residential, commercial, and retail components within a single project structure. We assist clients in navigating the layered ownership, financing, and governance complexities that define this project type, from initial structuring through final closing.

  • Our practice extends to a range of related legal matters that arise in the course of commercial real estate transactions and business operations. If your legal need isn't listed above, we encourage you to reach out— our team will let you know how we can help.

We represent developers, builders, lenders, investors, landlords, tenants, and title companies across North Carolina, South Carolina, and beyond. Whatever the transaction, our team has the experience to guide it forward.
